Originally Published 2 years ago — by PhoneArena

The Chameleon Android banking trojan is a malicious software targeting Android users, aiming to steal money by gaining access to banking and financial apps. It bypasses Android's security features by tricking users into granting permissions and uses a fake lock screen to capture PINs. To protect against this trojan, users should avoid sideloading apps, update their Android OS, change passwords using a secure device, monitor accounts for unusual activity, and consider a factory reset if malware is suspected.
